What else to say? We're done!! Thank you everyone for all the hard work. It's our very first experience in production. There were ups and downs, endless nights, life span sacrificed, lessons learned and been-there-done-that achievements unlocked!

We hope to achieve greater things in the future and become a better artist :)

Thank you Studio Simulator team! Thank you Mike! Thank you Barbara!
Thank you for bearing with us till the end. You guys rock!

Alas! We've entered the production phase - which means we're getting ready to bring our characters to life! There are still a number of problems yet to be solved and some catching up is needed for our models and rigging - mainly due to some major changes with designs and such.

Nevertheless, we've proceeded to sound recording as well! It was fun trying out the sound recording studio for the first time and figuring out Audition!

Here's how our main character - Pouffy progresses throughout modelling phase! /wipes tears

and after the final revamped design, here's our final model! (without texture) Mike L. Murphy pointed out the importance of making the character appealing yet simple - referring to Toys Story and the likes. So we gambled on revamping the design for a better execution in our short film. Modelers had a very hard time remodeling again and again and again, but we've learned that it's worth the pain for the better.

We've entered the character exploration and design phase! Trying out different shapes and style for our main character. She's gonna be posh! A lot more designs coming up. Check out the Production tab for more! We're still swimming in a vast ocean. Free style. (laughs)

This would be our first time venturing into an actual production workflow - working as a team with Illustration and Digital Animation departments all in one!

We're introduced with a studio simulator program for our final project - given approximately 8-9 months to create our very first short film.

We hope that this journey would help us grow more as an artist, as well as indirectly experiencing how it's like to work out there with tight schedules and deadlines - getting a tinge of industry stress perhaps! (laughs) and develop a better working habit as we learn along the way through trials and errors.

Check our updates as we enter the Pre-Production phase (available in the Production Tab) and begin our exploration! Keep in touch and keep rockin'!
